Panerai Left vs Right : 557 vs 372 !
 
Hello all,

Here's a packshot review about 2 watches that are almost identical but symmetrical twins :

* Panerai PAM00372 serial N1xxx/3500 with Ted Su ammo strap
* Panerai PAM00557 serial Q0xxx/700 with Attirail ammo strap


What is similar :
- same P3000 manual winding caliber
- same 3-6-9-12 sandwich dial
- same plexi glass with additionnal spare glass
- Same golden hands
- Same crown.

What differs :
- Case is different, not just flipped back, with specific engravings
>> PAM 372 >> OP 6835 at 6 o'clock >> PAM00372 at 12 o'clock
>> PAM 557 >> OP 69876 at 6 o'clock >> PAM00557 at 12 o'clock
- The winding crown protector is not the same, it is in fact totally symmetrical, and not just set up reversed.

Not sure what it is but lefty Pam's just don't look right

laphroaig007 28 August 2014 09:15 AM

Well if left does not look right, it seems regular and quite normal in fact !!! LOL

I owned the 372 for some time , maybe a year. I currently own a 557. And for me both are amazing , the only reason I err on the 557 side is because the crown protector of the 372 hit it on my wrist all the time; so I thank the 557 for existing because it allowed me to own the watch that for me and for many is the best PAM to own
Cheers
